TEMPERANCE.
THE BUBBLE AT THE eRlM.

Oh, see it gayly smiling
And lightly dancing up
How winsome and beguiling
1t peeps across the cup.
Beware, or twill enchant you,
As it beckons from the rim.
Come, kiss me, darling, can't you!"
Laughs the bubble at the brim.
How tenderly it f1ushes.
How modestly it f1iesl
ii apes q rnaiden's bushes
When dreams oflove arise,
1t softly sings and glistcns,
Like the shining seraphim-
But woe to him who listens
To the bubble at the brimi
Perhaps It's. Beauty's finger
That fills the rosy glass;
How sweet it is to iingerr
How hard it is to passl
IT'S late to curse the reveI
When the lights are burning dim:
You are bartered to the devil
BY the bubble at the brim.

Parasitic PLANT pIseases.

Tho prevalence Of smut In corn wo
believe to be owing to the want Of care
in disinfecting the seed. The process
Of preparing wheatfor seed, by sleeping
It in q solution Of four ounces Of sui
phate Of copper in gallon Of water
for each five bushels Of seed, has
been found so effective that 1t should
be applied to oats and corn, which arc
much affected by this parasitic disease.
1t Is a disease caused by the infection
Of parasitic germ quite as much as
similar diseases Of animals, TO which
heterms contagious and infectious have
been applied and, asthc germ adhoring
to the seed Is destroyed by the corrosive
solution used Just as the germs Of an.
NAL diseases are destroyed by disinfect.
ing treatment, the result is equally the
same, and the crops are preserved from
injury. This precaution should be used
with seed, oats and corn. and, wo be-
llcve, would be equally effective with

Siberia Convicfs.

In report prepared for the minis
terial commission which is now con-
sidering the project of gradually divert
ing the transportation Of Russian con-
victs from Siberia to the island Of
Saghalien and certain districts in the
trans-C Caucasian and central Asian
frontier provinces, the inspector Of the
Tiumen-Atchinsk route to Siberia states
that during the decade 1S76-S6 21S,57S
prisoners passed along that highway.
OF this number no less than 2,S67 died
on the way, and O1,266 were sent from
Atchinsk to the most remote eastern
settlements. The report furnishes no
record OF the probably large number
who perished on the latter part Of tho
journey. It's also silent as to tho
causes Of the 2,867 deaths between
Tiumcn and Atchinsk. The fact can
not, however. be disguised that tho
horrible hardships and sufferings under
which SO large number Of these un-
fortunate exiles sink on the way are q
standing blot on the penal legislation OF

THE ENGLISH SOLDIER.
His Meager Pay and stili More Meager
Chance for Promotion.


Chance for Promotion.
The nominal pay Of q common soldier
is twenty-five cents day, varying
up to forty-two cents day for
men in the household cavalry.
But whep the prescribed stoppages
have been made toward the cost Of his
'keep" very little indeed is left to him
in the way Of pocket money. He may
not faro badly, as compared with men
Of his own rank in life who are not
soldiers, while no is in his teens or for .
few years after. Soon, however, he
wants more, and Is worth more--if ho
is worths any thing-and the bribe Of
four cents q day, rising to six cents, for
re-cngagement, is not enough for his re-
quirements or his deserts. He may, Of
course, advance TO be q corporal, SER
geant or even a sergeantmajor, re-
ceiving as much as sl.25, or in the
Royal Engineers, s1.5O day; nay, it
is now possible for him to be promoted
altogether out Of tho ranks and to be-
come "an officer and Il gentleman"
But these latter promotions are very
rare, and, though there are doubtless
quito as many non-commissioned OIL
GERS as there is room or need for In o
regiment, enough scope is not thu
afforded for the reward Of good conduct
and long service which tho great mass
of our soldiers have a right to expect
Surely, It would be to the general ad-
vantage, and not really expensive, II
such progressive scale of pay were
adopted as would enable a private, II

tinued to be private all through his
career, to have when he was forty OF
fifty years old much larger remunera-
ton than the balance left to him, after

cents day. Tho addition Of penny
to every soldiers pay would amount Il
nearly $1.500, 900 q year, but as we sur

A, Gritty Doctors Revenge ON an Arrogant
w fsl Eqt Army Dficer.

A Gritty Doctor's Revenge ON m Arrogant
~ -! svi Army Onicer. -. =,
In "Daeling Days IN the Army, ro-
Gently published in London, is this story
of the way in which a clever man evaded
a duel and yet punished the person who
had insultcd him: While DIR, Young,
an officer belonging to the Woolwich
garrison, was escorting some ladies up
the river to Vauxhall. about the year
1870, he played them some tunes on a
flute Behind them was boat in which
were several officers, rowing forthe same
goal, and as these soon came alongside
the ono the doctor and his party were
in, he ceased playing. One of the Of
ficers Immediately asked why he did SO.
"For the same reason began" an
swered DR.. Young, ito please myself. "
The reply to this was an order to con-
tinue playing, ending with threat
that II he did not do so he (the officcr)
would toss the doctor into the Thames.
DR.. Young complied with the insolent
demand, and played all the way up the
river to Vauxhall., During the evening,
however, the doctor observed the officer
who had been so musically inclined by
himself in one Of the walks. when he
went up to him and with great GOODNESS
said: 'It was, sir, to avoid interrupt
ing the harmony of either my company
or yours that complied with your A.
rogant demand, but that you may learn
courage is to be found under black
coat as well as under a red one. ! Iexpect
you will meet mo tomorrow morning
at a certain place without any second,
the quarrel being entirely between our
selves" The doctor further covenanted
that tho affair should be decided by
swords, to all Of which conditions the
officer readily agreed. The parties met
the following morning, as had been ar
ranged, but the moment tho officer had
taken his ground and drawn his sword
the doctor pulled out horse pistol and
presented it at him. what" ex-
claimed the officer in alright, "do you
mean to assassinate mep" ''No,' re-
piled the doctor, "but you shall in
stantly put on your sword and dance a
minuet, otherwise you are dead man" "
The other at this began to swear ut his
opponent, as well as to vow he would
do nothing Of the kind; but the doctor
was resolute, giving the officer clearly
to understand that, II he did not begin
to dance before he Voung) counted
thirty, the threat would be carried into
effect. In slow time the doctor began
to count lone, two, three" and by thu
time he had got up to "ten' the swort
was returned into its sheath, and before
he had counted twenty" the Office
was going through y minuet as statel.
as man could do that had e loade'
pistol leveled within few feet Of hi
head. After quarter Of an hour
practice the muzzle Of the pistol wa
lowered, the holder Of 1t saying as
fell: "That will do, sir; VIC are noy
quits. You forced mo to play agains
my will, and have compelled you b
dance against yours. Being now on
level l will give you whatever satisfac
ton you require. The next affair will
of course, be with seconds. You kno,
where to find me. Good morning.
